Honestly, the DNC has no real candidate offerings at this time, nor can they afford to run against an incumbent President in 2020. Unless Trump
totally and majorally self-destructs in the next 2 years...the rural and Midwest voters will carry him with their votes again.

Financially, the DNC cannot compete in 2020. Common sense financially, they will attempt to get as many elected into midterm election 2018 and 2022.
Then they will pool their resources into an awesome candidate for the 2024 election.

It is what it is! Tears are not necessary...a winnable and financially stable plan as above is what is needed.

I think the 2016 election proved money isn't as important as we think. Yeah you need some, you can't run for president on peanuts, but you also can't
spend your way to the win. They outspent Trump by a factor of 3 or 4, depending on who you ask. They need to find a candidate.

I don't disagree. Trump was able to spend less due to he actually spent years preparing. He backed out in prior earlier run but that was actually
strategy. He comes off as a absolute idiot but when one goes back in time, documentaries, interviews, etc. you actually can see he has been planning
this over a longtime. He made sure all his ducks were in a row then ran. DNC will have to recognize this strategy.

To be honest, the DNC can only hope that Trump and GOP overplay their hand during the 2nd term! Obama came in off Bush and Trump had an edge over
Obama going all out and overplaying with the ACA plan. most Americans are fickle pickers...only when choosing between all new candidates. A President
has to really F up to not be re-elected for 2nd term. Most Americans will always rather enjoy an easy pickle over starting with a new cucumber.

I uh... yeah, something about phallic-shaped vegetables be damned. Um, I agree?

Edit: I think technically a cucumber is a fruit. Wow is this post gay.

Egad! Just realized and confirmed that I have fallen into a silly mud pit! Simply Ignore my previous posts...I am going to go take a shower and go to
bed. Can't wait for ATS to put up better warning signs.

So credit where credit is due I think you are the only member who as actually taken the time to go and find a poll that gives a opposite view to
actually challenge the OP.

Now with that said however what would have to say is that the report you have linked to is based on the Rasmussen Report which is covered in the OP.
It is a right leaning pollster group who regularly give trump favourable approval ratings which is completely at odds with almost all other pollsters.
Not only that its not regarded as a particularly good poll achieving only a C+ rating. Furthermore I would also again highlight that when you look
even at the Rasmussen poll It shows that for the most part participants report that they strongly disapprove of Trump in general.

Lastly I would remind you that this is one poll at one snap shot in time but when you look at the trend over all polls Trump remains the most
unpopular POTUS ever.

Now sure that might not matter so his supporters, which is fine, I am just highlighting what the pollsters have been saying.

Troy Balderson (R) has 50.2 percent of the vote with 100% of precincts in, compared to 49.3 percent for Danny O'Connor (D). There are still 3,300
provisional ballots and some more absentee ballots outstanding.

Popularity is Relative to a Particular Mindset . Someone who Recognizes Uniqueness in an Individual that stands out in a Crowd . President Trump fits
that Definition , Ergo , He Is Popular Contrary to your Personal Beliefs .

The latest Gallup poll puts Trump's job approval at 45%. That's the highest it's been since he took office, and it's up from 37% at the start of the
year. Although you'd barely know it from the press Trump gets, his approval number has been on a slow but relatively steady rise all year.

Even more striking is the fact that the public's approval of Obama was sagging even while his press coverage was overwhelmingly positive.
